I really like @mastodon.radio

This is a great server with lovely people and wonderful content.

Thank you to everyone here that's made it not just possible to exist in #hamradio but genuinely thrive.

This wasn't looking likely after ugly and inexplicable behavior towards me personally and the work I do as a volunteer from #ARDC and #AMSAT over the past 2 years.

AMSAT-NA in particular - the other AMSATs have been fantastic to work with.

Thank you especially to @N3VEM, #JAMSAT, and #amsatdl.

@abraxas3d I just hope to be able to show appreciation for all the things you’ve done already, and continue to do for the hobby!

@N3VEM thank you, that means a lot.

What you're working on is essential for long-term success. We have to be able to include people. Inclusion is a skill that has to be learned and practiced. It's not an instinct. Tribalism is an instinct. Tribalism is only a "good start". We have it so we can survive attacks by lions and enemy tribes. To get the most out of civilized life, I think we need to practice a slightly higher performance in thinking and behavior, which is called inclusivity.

@abraxas3d to be honest this made me chuckle a little bit - to think in some areas we haven’t really evolved much beyond ‘survive lion attacks’ is so true, that it’s a little scary.
